Topic: Roku Netflix Player - MAC address (Read 8428 times)

Is anyone who has a Roku Netflix Player willing to share the first four components of the MAC address? I'd like to update the NetflixPlayer_telnet (#2049) device template and at the same time make it be plug-n-play compatible.

I'll start, the MAC address on my Roku Netflix Player is in the range 00:0d:4b:57:XX:XX

I started a telent controlled template. haven't gotten to the c++ code yet. Started a couple times but got stuck with socket calls and other life challenges, hope to get back to it soon. Feel free to work on it.

I've got this working for my MAC address range. I modified your 2049 template and added the Generic Serial Device codes for it.

While I was poking around, I noticed that device 1959, the IR based Roku Netflix Player, is already using the 00:0D:4B:35:00:00 - 00:0D:4B:38:FF:FF MAC address range for it's plug-n-play detection. I assume ethernet control is preferred to IR control. Should I remove the PnP settings from device template 1959 and add them to device template 2049? Or can they both have the same range?

For now, I'll submit the changes I've made to 2049, but only include the MAC address ranges that are outside 00:0D:4B:35:00:00 - 00:0D:4B:38:FF:FF. That way folks can at least give it a try and see if it works for them.

You should be able to pick up the changes I made by choosing Advanced>sqlCVS>Update and choosing all the dce and ir tables. However, for this to work your version of LinuxMCE needs to be newer than Update 2010-09-16 23289. A change was made to the Generic Serial Device plugin in that version which is required to use it with the Roku box.

I"m having trouble getting my roku setup. First off, my MAC is of the range: 00:0d:4b:5d:XX:XX

But I manually added the Roku as a child device of my core and have the picture exporting to a PVR150 over composite. The picture works just fine, but I cannot get LMCE to send commands to my device. I telnet in on port 8080 and am able to manually send commands to the device, but no buttons pressed on my MD or orbiters work.

Under "Device Data" for the Roku player in the admin pages, "COM port on PC" is left as "Please select".

Any help would be greatly appreciated-

There are two Roku templates. One for IR control and one for TCP/telnet control. Are you using template #2049 NetflixPlayer_telnet? If so, you should only need to fill in the IP address.

Yes- using the telnet template. I will try deleting the device and reading it, but this time plugging in the ip address LMCE gives it and not the MAC address. I have a standard setup, btw, with dual nics and nvidia vid card and the Tokyo is on the internal network connected via wire- not wirelessly- fwiw

Thanks

[Update] Deleting the template and re-creating the device fixed the problem. Roku works great now- thanks Esev for your help and the template

just a roku xd and I'm having the same issue as huh. I added the mac address manualy to the template and it detected it great... installed it great and then I went through the setup wizard to setup the pvr150.
